Badosa: "Sometimes I was serving 180. I had to look what the serve said because I didn't understand how a winner came back that fast. "I thought I was serving bad. Then I saw it was her game, that she was playing very, very good. "Madison, she's like that.” #AusOpen
"I thought I was serving bad" admits Badosa after loss against Madison Keys

Paula Badosa found herself perplexed during her match against Madison Keys uanble to fathom the power of the American.
Keys played an immaculate style of tennis that frustrated Badosa a lot by the time the match was over. The Spaniard is known as a pretty good server and very hard hitter however it was not enough to counter Keys who has power of her own. On the matchup Badosa admitted:
"Sometimes I was serving 180. I had to look what the service said because I didn't understand how a winner came back that fast."
A lot of those winners came right back to Badosa especially in the 2nd set which Keys won with 6-1. Badosa failed to adapt to the playstyle of Keys in the match and the American cruised to a fairly easy 6-3 6-1 victory which left Badosa stunned. She said:
"I thought I was serving bad. Then I saw it was her game, that she was playing very, very good. Madison, she's like that.”

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
